Negotiable

I'd tell them for negotiating purposes. Don't be scared to play both sides of the fence. You'll come out financially better for it.

Personally I've been asked this before, I question the ethics of the question and to what good that information will be. He then switched ta ask what would I be comfortable making as a salary. I really meant it , what goods that information of its to low they think your not worthy of more ,yet if it's to high that your Noth work that much. It's actually a control question. I find that so many questions are actually ego driven an seem outside the scope mostly.

I would love to make more if my output isn’t where it needs to be let me know or if it is then let’s talk now lol

I would be like I don’t know what’s yours? I thought we wasn’t allowed to discuss this

I understand you would like to have all information about me, so you can determine if I am a good fit for this opportunity based on alignment with my current skills as well as the salary that I am looking for; but before I answer I would like to know what the exact budget or salary range is for this position, so that I know what options I have

Absolutely!

I have never had a cleaning job with a client. But I do clean like A pro!

Be honest tell him that's why we are talking, looking for more money
